Sharon Weisman sez: I made the Glendale News Press Year In Review over the Rose Parade Float design. Not sure I like being called a 'fixture' at City Hall! Like I'm a drinking fountain or something - guess I have to be more 'animated' while I'm there. See: www.glendalenewspress.com/news/tn-gnp-1231-glendale-2011-year-in-review,0,1170705,full.story Also see: Pachyderm pandemonium Also posted on FB: Sharon Weisman: Sure but I'm hoping the Occupy Rose Parade folks drown out the protests over Glendale's float. The council has already taken a role in designing next year's float so further protests aren't necessary.

Leave it to the News-Press to reflect an alternate local reality, one without critical thinking where a naked emperor never gets called out, and express it awkwardly to boot!
Sharon, fixture here can only mean in the sense of useful, as in someone who advances the agenda as you so often do, as here.

Thanks, Roberta! Like I said over on FB - I'm glad it wasn't 'dingbat gadfly'!
btw, the road diet for La Crescenta Ave. got postponed until Jan 31 - Weaver opposed and Najarian fearful of community opposition. Staff is investigating all possible road diet locations and bringing it back.

“Remembrance without resolve is a hollow gesture. Awareness without action changes nothing. In this sense, 'never again' is a challenge to us all—to pause and to look within.”—President Obama today at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

The verbs make that one of the best op-eds ever. E. L. Doctorow has been the Mark Twain of our age. And thank you, Nancy, for the Obama quote above Roberta's post, which I would have missed otherwise. Today in the news: Twelve more years in Afghanistan. I know that not all of us at Montrose Peace Vigil come to the corner every week to protest the war in its 11th year, but that's my primary motivation. I will have to show up until I can start collecting Social Security -- I was born in 1958, so I'll be 66 years and eight months old at the end of 2024 -- assuming that our nation is not bankrupt by then. Spiritually too. The Soviets must be laughing their asses off. Oh, wait -- the Soviet Union fell apart three years after pulling out of Afghanistan. Somebody, please tell Willard's foreign policy advisors.
